Good, I can delete the post. While walking my dog, I realized a post that appears to be advertizing would be called spam, and I could be banned for spamming.

 

Thanks CharonY for the effort of making something of good of this thread.

 

This discussion is going better in another forum where the people come from a historical perspective. Personally, I think this new education technology is like putting wheels on a cart that has been dragged ever since the beginning of the twentieth century. I am very excited about the social ramifications, and the discussion I want isn't likely to happen here.

It's a nice initiative, I agree. I used it too myself.

 

I did a quick search on our forum, and we've linked to the Khan Academy at least 10 times already in various threads. Maybe they should start paying us.

 

In all fairness, your post does sound a little bit like advertisement... anything you'd like to discuss about this?

If you already have this information, Just delete the thread. Thank you.

One could discuss which areas are better covered, for instance (e.g. I found biology a bit unfocused in several areas, on the other hand they state that it is highschool level, so I cannot really complain).

The way they've created a lot of maths exercises, where you can earn badges and points - I'd like to see that for chemistry and physics too.

 

The lectures seem quite good, but personally, I only remember stuff when I practice.
